Te-Whanganui-a-Tara's First Reserve, the solo project of Ryan Connaghan (he/they), kicks off 2025 with 'Twenty.' Following a massive 2024, including support slots for Hot Mulligan and Movements, First Reserve has solidified its place in Aotearoa’s alt scene.

'Twenty' blends gut-wrenching emotion with infectious hooks, marking the final release from Connaghan’s sessions with producer Joe Ledword (Wet Denim, Arlo Mac). Its dynamic shifts mirror the song’s lyrical intensity, making for a gripping listen.

To celebrate, First Reserve headlines San Fran on February 26th as part of the "Summer Camp" series. Expect an electrifying show that cements First Reserves status  as a standout voice in indie rock.
